While his parents headed to the White House with his father holding office for the second time, Barron Trump, the youngest son of the business mogul, opted to continue his studies in New York.
Barron is currently attending Stern Business School at New York University, but unlike most of his classmates who are staying on campus, he’s residing at Trump Tower.
“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” a source told People. “Barron already has his own political ideas. It all needs to be monitored in light of the situation.”
The source added that she will do everything in her power to support her son’s well-being.
“Whether or not others think he is capable of being on his own, Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible,” that source said. “I see that continuing.”
“Melania worries about the hate in the country and how it falls on her son, who is innocent of any of this,” the source added. “She is and has been a good sounding board for him. They talk about life as it is and how they are in the spotlight. She tries to normalize his life. If that is even possible.”
“She wants to encourage him to make friends”
“Any child in the world spotlight like this would be lucky to have a parent so willing to give her time to help keep his life running smoothly,” a Palm Beach source told the outlet.
Speaking of his son’s choice of university, President Trump said, “It’s a very high-quality place. He liked it. He liked the school. We liked NYU. I’ve known NYU for a long time, but it’s one of the highest-rated schools.
“I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn’t do that,” Trump continued. “We went for Stern. He’s a very high-aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond childhood, he’s doing great.”
While Melania now resides in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it was reported that she would be splitting her time between Washington DC, Florida, and New York.
In fact, it is expected that she spends time with her son, whom she’s very close to.
A source close to the family spoke to People, describing the First Lady as “very protective” of her only child.
“Melania’s friends are her family members. She is a doting mother to Barron and very protective of him. This is nothing new,” the source said, adding that Barron always has been a “first priority.”
“She has carte blanche – she can be as active in the East Wing or as inactive as she cares to be,” Kate Bennett, author of Free, Melania, told CNN.
Bennett added that unlike other first ladies, Melania didn’t use the period of the last four years to build hew own platform and brand.
“The missed opportunity of this period between her tenure in the White House has been the lack of a continuing platform or policy agenda that most first ladies build on.”
However, no matter how much she tried to protect him and keep him out of the spotlight, being the son of the president of the country make people interested in Barron’s private life.
